A fourth accused, Nashville Julius, was convicted on charges of kidnapping and robbery.

Advocate Lenro Badenhorst has wrapped up the argument in aggravation of sentence.

Calling for harsh sentences, he says the community at large needs to be protected from the convicted killers, especially Witbooi and Parsons who called the shots during the attack.

He says Parsons, who is linked to the 28s-prison gang, has several tattoos on his body that indicate what kind of person he is.

The killer’s tattoos include his gang rank, a firearm, the phrase “hungry for money, thirsty for blood”, another phrase “f the police” and a drawing of a naked woman with her legs spread apart and her head that of a baboon.

Badenhorst argues this shows Parsons has no respect for women and sees females as animals there for sexual pleasure.
